Initial start-up and functions
8
Q-Factor
This control is used to adjust the Q factor (band-
width) of the Bass Boost. When set to “NAR” only a
narrow range around the center frequency (dened
by control 9) will be a󰀨ected whereas when set to
“WIDE” the Bass Boost has a broadband e󰀨ect
around the chosen center frequency. The Q factor
remains constant if the centre frequency (control 9)
is changed
.
9
Bass Boost Frequency
This control is used to adjust the center frequency
of the Bass Boost from 30 Hz to 80 Hz. The ad-
justed bass frequency can be enhanced from 0 to
12 dB with control 7.
This is useful to emphasize or correct a determined
frequency of the subwoofer (kickbass).
10
Subsonic
This control is used to adjust the crossover
frequency of the subsonic lter from 10 Hz to 50 Hz.
The subsonic lter cuts o󰀨 very low frequencies
which aren’t audible and therefore relieves the am-
plier and also the subwoofer. Additionally the am-
plier will have more power available for the audible
frequencies. This control is always activated and its
adjustment is mandatory.
11
Lowpass
This control is used to adjust the crossover frequen-
cy of the lowpass lter from 50 Hz to 250 Hz. This
control is always activated and its adjustment is
mandatory.
In combination with the subsonic lter, the lowpass
lter creates a bandpass in any case. By adjusting
the subsonic (control 10) and lowpass lter (con-
trol 11) any bandpass between 10 Hz and 250 Hz
can be realized.
Caution: To avoid a loss of gain make sure that the
crossover frequencies of the subsonic and lowpass
lters do have an interval of at least two octaves
when generating a bandpass. That means if the
lowpass is adjusted to 100 Hz the subsonic should
be adjusted to 25 Hz or less (one octave = doubled
frequency or halved frequency).
